   Crew 3 brings 3 rookies to ISS

   Hard capture underway.  /Endurance/ breezed through Waypoints 0 and 1   
   without a hold.   
      
   Raja Chari, the commander, is one of the rookies.  Kayla Barron, a   
   submariner, and Matthias Maurer, a materials scientist, are the others.   
   The nickname for the Chari's and Barron's astronaut class was   
   "Turtles", and Maurer's class was known as "Peacocks".   The Zero-G   
   indicater is a stuffed turtle named Pfau, covering all 3 new   
   astronauts.   
      
   Thomas Marshburn, the pilot, is the sole veteran, having flown on   
   STS-127 (/Endeavour/) and Expedition 34/35 (TMA-07M), and has 4   
   spacewalks under his belt.

   As a colleague once told me about an incoming manager,   
   "He does very well in a suck-up, kick-down culture."
